问题     Ten years ago, Joe Allen began studying a diverse group of seventh graders near the University of Virginia, where he’s a professor. One of Allen’s main concerns was how these kids dealt with peer pressure, and how deeply they felt the pressure to【C1】______to what the crowd was doing.
    According to every pop theory of【C2】______, peer pressure is danger. Being able to resist it should be considered a sign of character strength. But a funny thing happened as Allen continued to follow these kids every year for the next 10 years: the kids who felt more peer pressure when they were 12 or 13 were turning out better.
    Notably, they had much higher-quality relationships with friends, parents, and【C3】______partners. Their need to fit in, in the early teens, later【C4】______itself as a willingness to accommodate—a necessary【C5】______of all reciprocal relationships. The self-conscious kid who spent seventh grade convinced that everyone was watching her and learned to be attuned(与......合拍)to【C6】______changes in others’ moods. Years down the road, that【C7】______sensitivity lead to empathy(移情)and social adeptness.
    Meanwhile, those kids who did not feel much peer pressure to smoke, drink, and【C8】______in seventh grade didn’t turn out to be the independent-minded stars we’d imagine. Instead, what was notable about them was that within five years they had a much lower GPA(grade point average). The kid who could say no to his peers turned out to be less engaged, all around, socially and【C9】______. Basically, if he was so detached that he didn’t care what his peers thought, he probably wasn’t【C10】______by what his parents or society expected of him, either.
A)adolescence B)trivial C)component D)shoplift
E)morally F)conform G)subtle H)ignited
I)smuggle J)academically K)manifested L)nutrient
M)motivated N)romantic O)heightened [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 O
解析 此处需填入修饰sensitivity(敏感)的词。heightened“高度的”可说明敏感的程度，符合后文提到的结果：移情和熟练的社交能力。
